About
There is often already a sense of rhythm present, a quiet awareness of phases and returns moving through both the body and the wider world. The moon is familiar in this way, marking time not only in the sky, but in mood, energy, and perception. What is less often held is a way of moving consciously within that rhythm, with enough structure for it to become something lived rather than simply noticed. Journeying the Moon Wheel offers a way into this deeper movement through a 28-day passage with the lunar cycle, where rhythm is not imposed, but gradually re-established through lived experience. The work brings structure, meaning, and orientation to shifting phases of inner and outer life, allowing them to be recognised and entered over time. Rooted in Irish cosmology, the moon is approached as a participant in the shaping of time. Its phases are understood as distinct conditions moving through emergence, expansion, fullness, release, and return, each carrying its own atmosphere and way of being. As the journey unfolds, each day is entered through a field shaped by direction, element, season, and archetype, forming a unified ground in which story, reflection, and practice take place, allowing the work to be experienced rather than interpreted. Irish myth and folklore run throughout, anchoring the cycle in cultural memory and giving form to what might otherwise remain abstract. The work deepens through repetition and attention, until the cycle becomes something familiar enough to be inhabited. This offers a way of living in cyclical time rather than moving against it. What begins as awareness becomes participation, and over time, a different relationship to rhythm, perception, and inner life begins to take shape. This is a long-form, self-paced body of work designed to be returned to across multiple cycles, not something to complete, but something to live with as the phases reappear and reveal themselves differently each time.
